O’Reilly Factor guest and frequent media critic Bernard Goldberg went off on MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell last night for some comments O’Donnell made on “Morning Joe” regarding Newt Gingrich.
At the Southern Republican Leadership Conference last week, Gingrich jabbed Pres. Obama saying, “shooting three-point shots may be clever, but it doesn’t put anybody to work.”
Some in the media picked up on Gingrich’s comment as being racially charged. Here’s what O’Donnell said on MSNBC Friday:
I mean, this was largely a good speech — Gingrich’s speech — about not being the party of ‘no.’ I’m not sure what he means by this particular sound bite. I think it’s open to criticism because it suggests that the president is an athlete and some people may suggest, you know, because all black people are good athletes. I mean, that’s what it sort of sounds like to me.
Goldberg’s take on last night’s O’Reilly Factor:
